WHY INVEST IN A CONTENT STRATEGY?
I can help you develop data-led content strategy to ensure that all content, channels and activity are aligned.
I’ll use search data, customer surveys and social listening to discover the needs and behaviours of your commercial audience. This will guide what to create and where to put it.
My strategies include a content calendar so our respective teams know exactly what to create, when and how content is repurposed across channels.
​
My strategy will help your brand build reach, engage and capture audiences, and drive action.

TACTICS VS STRATEGY
I have worked with B2B and B2C brands, governing bodies and members' organisations, using insight and analytics to create successful content strategies.
Too many brands work tactically, making content decisions reactively based on a range of bottom-up inputs from channels to search data to competitor mimicry. This results in inefficient channel siloes, ineffective campaigns and slow long-term growth.
I work with brands to develop cohesive, comprehensive content strategies that ensure all content activity is aligned: Data and insights reveal what the audience wants; brand values, position and proposition inform how we might deliver that.
My content strategies help organisations reach new audiences, increase engagement with existing audiences and drive action - from signups to downloads to purchases. These strategies help companies use content to build trust and create brand advocates who repeatedly buy products and services. As part of their relationship with the brand.
